Has anyone seen a low profile drip tray for a regular rancilio Silvia? I've seen a bunch for sale for GCP or rancilio pro. But nothing that I can find for the Silvia. I just want to fit a slim scale and a normal coffee cup under a bottomless porta filter. Is that too much to ask?

I found some 3d printer designs online (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5089251). But I don't have a 3d printer. Can someone help me out here?

Shot Diagnosis

I've been noodling around with my rancilio Silvia, DF64, and somewhat inconsistent and poorly rested home roasted coffee for several months now. I was getting channeling and uneven extraction all the time, no matter how carefully I tried to dial in. Every once in a while, I'd get something a little better, but there didn't seem to be any discernable factor that I could adjust to avoid these issues.

I had resigned myself to the inevitability of jets of espresso shooting sideways out of my portafilter with every shot. But then, last week, on a lark, I just went ahead and stirred up the grounds with a toothpick before tamping, and viola: instant and noticable reduction in channeling with no ot

I feel like a pretty common sentiment is that the rocky isn't a good espresso grinder, but I wonder why people say that. On paper, the specs are fine:

Decent size flat burr set with good adjustment range and stepless adjustment out of the box.

I know it's not ideal for single dosing, and probably has fairly high retention, but is there anything else that people find particularly objectionable? Is it just that the retail price is too high for what you get? Spec wise, it looks better than anything from baratza (except maybe the sette if you like conical burrs and don't mind the racket) or breville.

It's priced to compete with the low end of the eureka mignon line, and it has specs that ap

Original owner, purchased in 2018. I used this machine to roast weekly for 2 years, but I've moved on to larger capacity roasters, and now it's just sitting in my garage, gathering dust.

Fan blows and heating element works. I pulled it out to roast a few batches for old time's sake a few weeks ago and it still works great.

You can use the manual controls on the panel or use the USB connections to control from your computer. I always create roasting profiles and use [OpenRoast](https:

I've been roasting with the sandbox smart r1 for a few weeks and I'm achieving decent results, but I think I could do better.

I'm aiming to achieve consistently declining ROR curves, but I'm always getting crashes right around first crack. I've been keeping my development time pretty short because I'm worried about crash induced baking. The roast profile that I'm trying to dial in is actually increasing the heat output right around the start of first crack, and I don't think my fan speed is excessive. So it doesn't make sense to me that the ROR should be crashing. Here are some recent roasts:

My thought is that I may not actually be getting ROR crashes. The te

I had been thinking about getting the Sandbox Smart R1 for a while now, but the price seemed a little bit steep. I just had a look at Amazon and saw that the red trimmed version is on sale at 20% off on a Prime Day deal. I immediately bought one!
